I found a new game server hosting platform that is doing a free beta test right now. The beta is planned to be free for about three months.
They want people to spin up servers and test performance then share honest feedback. You can pick which node your server runs on.
The whole point is performance focused hosting with lots of headroom. They say they do not want to cram a bunch of servers onto one machine.
This might stay private and may never fully open to the public. The panel they use is pterodactyl and they are mainly testing systems networks and power costs.

GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPOrdinary SMP Vanilla Java Whitelist Vibes
Ordinary SMP is a vanilla Java server on 1.21.11 and it is whitelisted so the community stays respectful and fun.
It feels like a tight knit place with players from all over who like to build together and work on big community projects. If you are a builder an explorer a redstone person or you just want to vibe you will fit in.
The server uses Ledger so grief and theft can be checked out which helps keep builds safer. There is BlueMap so you can see the world live. There is Simple VoiceChat for talking in game and an AudioPlayer for custom audio.
They also have dragon elytra drops and a custom resource pack with cosmetics trophies and event rewards with a HermitCraft inspired theme. Events happen too like PvP fights build contests and big server projects.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IP
